I noticed that the website had not been updated in a bit and noted that you mentioned you only do 10 minutes of cardio. This intrigues me and I wanted to see how you developed your system this way.
Anthony says:

What about if you strech the muscle before you workout?
will that help build it faster.
And i been doin workouts for almost 7 yrs i do mma.
Do you have any intense ab workouts i can do from home?
Anthony says:
Jan 28, 2010
I dont know how to post new ones so im goin to reply on old ones.
Brandon the workouts look great. You should use commercial things in your workout like perfect push ups if its possible of course.
And for the guys who have muscle already and wan’t to gain weight and make that into muscle eat meat like steaks and things like that.
Protein bars and shakes like Brandon does.
You guys doin this workout brandon is offering us works just by lookin at him he won’t sell nothin if it dont work for him.
You can’t just work out for a month and hope the muscle stays it wont it takes alot of dedication to get the way that YOU wan’t.
And for the people who say they wan’t to have muscle definition like Brandon you won’t. Every body’s muscle form differently.
You can also run and do push ups at home when doing push ups if you have a backpack or somethin heavy(no to heavy to were you cant lift it) put it on your back (make sure it stays and dont slip) you can use a persons feet, your sister brother mom dad depends on you.
And another important hing im sure Brandon mentioned it in his workout video STRETCH or you will strain a muscle and it WILL hurt or you can even pull a muscle start light, slow then work your way up.
Brandon great music by the way can’t wait to see how you sound in 5-6 yrs from now.
If anyone wants to add me i have a myspace.
Brandon your doin great keep it up.

Hello Brandon,
I’m about to purchase your program. But first, I am doing the P90X program now. But .. looking to try something else. I weigh about 135 lbs … and am 5-6. I am trying to put on about 15 lbs. That will be a great size for me. Will your program help me do that? Also, do the two videos that come with the program include the entire workout (including Ab excercises) BTW, how tall are you and how much did you weigh before getting started?
Thanks
Bo
BRANDON CARTER says:
Dec 8, 2009
thanks man. please keep me posted on your progress! i am 6’2 180 pounds.
BRANDON CARTER says:
Dec 8, 2009
p.s. you will NOT gain the 15 pouns of mucsle you wan using P90x because P90x is not a mass building program. My program dose have what you need to build mass and / or cut up
Kevin says:
Dec 8, 2009
Hey, im still hesitant on purchasing the videos, why is it only $7? and will i get dvds shipped to my house or how does it work? and will it show what days i should work out which muscle?
BRANDON CARTER says:
Dec 8, 2009
the videos are instant download, you will be emailed a download link after you order. thats why is so inexpensive, because there is no physical product to ship so i pass on the savings to you. but hey, fell feel free to pay more if you want, lol
Kevin says:

thank u
BRANDON CARTER says:
Jan 13, 2010
when you download the full $7 program you’ll get a detailed workout to follow Monday-Friday. the free workout plan is a one day full body program. the $7 program is just a lot more intense

hi brandon i am in need of desprate help , im 14 now going on to 15 and when i was younger i was in perfect heaqlth for my age but for the past 2 years ive been slacking and have got very fat for my ages and i am in desprate need of loosing weight i have recently gotten 0.5kg – 15kg weightsfor christmas and soon am going to be joining a gym very close to me but thats not enough i do those weights each day which is only little and i want my six pack back and i want to be healthy especially when my dads generation has had high blood pressure and have had heart attacks and my obesity is not going to help !! so please give me tips of what i can do to get ripped please email me at phillip05_robinson@hotmail.co.uk , i would love it if you can help me

justin says:
Jan 9, 2010
So you dont go to the gym anymore? and i can get a body like yours from doing these exercises from home? is this better then p90x? Thanks
BRANDON CARTER says:
Jan 13, 2010
I think its better then P90X because you can use it to just get ripped, just gain mass or both! P90X is a good program but it will only get you ripped, you wont gain mass on that program… plus its over $200 my program is $7!!!!!!!
bs20 says:
Jan 19, 2010
Do you ever switch up your workout? For example, sets and reps, exercises etc. Or do you just always do whats in the video?

Mike says:
Feb 22, 2010
Hey,
I just bought your video and finished watching it, and i have one quick question.
You recommend increasing the weight with each set? or just keep the same weight until you feel like you are ready to go bigger?
Cant wait to start it man.
Mike says:
Feb 22, 2010
Do you know where i can find “TEA REXX” other than the internet? Could i find it at a store?

steve says:
Feb 23, 2010

BRANDON CARTER says:
Oct 6, 2010
you can. but for ME its a wast of money. but if it works for you . go for it!
Joe says:
Mar 1, 2010
I watched some of your videos on Youtube.com and decided to try some of them. The first thig I did was the bicep one. I did it on a Friday, and it wasn’t until Monday that I could fully straighten out my arms. I didn’t even use that heavy of weights. My muscles feel bigger after just one session. I’m hoping that all of my muscle groups respond the same way when I do your other workouts.
I’m 39 years old, and am hoping to have a 6 pack by June. I started working out a little bit since January 4th and have gone from 186 to 166 by just cutting out sugar from my diet and doing a little exercise. Do you think the 6 pack is possible in 16 weeks?
Does your full workout contain all the muscle groups? Chest, shoulders, calves, triceps, glutes, hams, quads, abs, biceps, lats and traps?
BRANDON CARTER says:
Mar 14, 2010
Thanks! the full workout covers the whole body
Mikey says:

Ell says:
Sep 29, 2010
Hello. I’m 15, and I used to do the odd working out, but I recently started working out a lot more – mostly doing work outs that are in your videos.
Anyway, I have a six pack but only shows proper when I tense. I’m not that big build so probably need to put a bit of fat on before going any further. More to the point, I most of all want to work on my arms and getting some pecks. Any advice on just home exercises or weight-lifting?
Also nice videos, they helped a lot. Thanks!

Thanks
BRANDON CARTER says:
Oct 1, 2010
Sorry bro, I’m not taking any clients now because I will be on tour promoting my music for the rest of the year.Its probably better for you because charge over $100 per hour to train people, But if you get the workout plan, you get all the same advice I would give you but for only $10 buck. You can’t beat that!
Michael says:
Oct 1, 2010
Hey Brandon. Awesome vids. This really helped me out!
But I have a question.
- At your first videos at tearexx1 you were quite ripped, but was your chest trained by pullups or benchpress, or what?
- How did you raise the kg, because I’m kinda stucked at 60 kg. in benchpress.
Hope you’ll answer.

I love all our workout videos on youtube and will definately order your videos. My question is, is it ok to work out your triceps and biceps on the same day or will that just tire me? I’m thinking about just doing them on different days. Triceps are my favorite. By the way, your ab workouts are insane, but loving it, and hits all the right areas! Thanks man!

Hey man I got your program, looks great man. But do I go 3 sets to failure on all the excercises except lat raises, or 3 sets to 10-12 except on those certain excercises.
mike j says:
Jun 2, 2011

just a quick question before i buy your programme, will i get results near what you have gained (phenomenal btw) by working out at home as my nearest gym is about 3 miles away ??
Andrei says:
Jun 14, 2011
Like to know the 2 things you use.
1) The equipment that you use for pull ups where can I get i?> any name?
2) when you do bicep curls you had this contracption to keep your arms in position. What do you call it & where do I get it?
I really appreciate what you are trying to achieve for people out there. Take care stay safe and healthy Brandon. God Bless.
Cheers

Im 16, exercise a lot. But hardly do any cardio once I stopped football, I need help with a good diet plan, my mom likes to make food that’s usually cooked in alot of grease, oil, and what not, Im skinny but have layers of fat in my chest abs and many other areas, I want to switch to eating healthy but my family eats alot of junk, any recommendations on what to eat or what to do?
BRANDON CARTER says:
Jul 4, 2011
it ok that she cooks in grease cuz its not eating fat that makes you fat. try working out first think in the morningon an empty stomic. you burn 3 times as much fat when you do that!!! If i were you, i would do cardio in the AM, and lift weights before your mom’s big greasy dinner (lol) that way her fatty food will help build your muscles and not make you fat.

hey brandon, thx for posting all the vids on youtube; theyre really helpful. ive been working out a long time, and am happy with my body, but i still like to watch your workout vids to give me extra tips on how i can improve. i was just wondering about your comment to Frank above about ‘its not eating fat that makes you fat’. i never heard this idea before; in fact, ive always heard the opposite. in that case, what does make you fat then?

BRANDON CARTER says:

Lift lighter weights and use short rest time (20-30 seconds) btw sets. thats what bodybuilders do to get ripped for a show. it wont make you bigger, but it will give you more definition. you also want to be doing some good cardio like this —> http://highlifeworkout.com/2009/10/27/exercises-for-super-fast-fat-burning-and-muscle-building-brandon-carter/ good luck

In your workout routine you only do two workouts during shoulders day. Is that really all you do for shoulders?

hi brandon ive seen your vids and i think there realy good, im having trouble in gaining weight in order to bulk up im about 6ft tall and weigh 10 stone and ive tried eating like 5 meals a day but nothing seems to be working for me i was wandering if you had any good tips for me..
kind regards
BRANDON CARTER says:
Jul 23, 2011
man, your going to have to eat more. take it to 6 meals and eat as much as you can for each of them!
Andrew says:
Jul 21, 2011
Yo, two questions, how do you make those potatoes for breakfast I saw in one of your diet vids, and how do I know if I’m taking a meal replacement shake? (I just use skim milk and a scoop of whey protein, but I havent bought the bananas yet)
BRANDON CARTER says:
Jul 23, 2011
I just cook them in Olive oil. I ” meal replacement shake” will shack will say ” meal replacement shake” on it. protein shack is just protein. a meal replacement shake is a MEAL (protein, carbs, est..)
Andrew says:
Jul 25, 2011
Thanks for that bro, I’ve been on this for 2 weeks, but haven’t seen much results, but I know it will come with time. I just can’t seem to convince my mom that eating more will help me gain muscle (she is a calorie cutter, and pretty much cuts everything and she has good results). She is tired of me drinking the protein shakes. My house is stocked with chicken wings, but she almost died when she saw the fat content on only 2 wings, when I have been eating 6. I am a pretty big kid, I;’m 17, 6 foot tall , and pretty wide, I just have small arms and belly fat. Any comments on if I should still stick to the 6 meals a day and the chicken wings and try to prove my mom wrong? Or should I maybe switch to chicken breast…this is long and I would appreciate your opinions, thanks in advance.

Hi Brandon, found you via Youtube. I think you’re doing a great wonderful thing by helping people get healthy and in shape.
I used to be very unfit a few years back till my Korean friend got me into fitness. I never looked back and I’ve changed a lot of my habits because of my dedication towards fitness. I also left smoking and heavy binge drinking because of training.
I guess I am addicted now because the fitness actually helps me everywhere else through my life, with family and friends, with my work. I guess it makes me a more confident person and someone that can deal with pressure.
You’re doing a great thing for many people. I hope a lot of people watch and follow your videos here and on Youtube.
Best regards from Japan to you
Peace!

Hi Brandon, Your workout plan is clear and straightforward ! I like it ! And I use to wake up at 5am too, because it is so quiet… (I have 3 kids).
I understand that I need to do as many reps until failure. But for example, for biceps curls, if I take a 1 kg dumbbell per arm, I will do 50 reps before failure. At 20kg dumbbells per arm, I hit the failure after 2 reps… What is the good average ? I am afraid to damage my muscles if I take too big dumbbells…
Thanks,
Arno

Dear Brandon,
I must praise you for the videos their great!! I’m improved a lot especially my abs! My two main problems are:
I wish to gain more muscle on my chest at home; what is the most effective way to increase pectoral muscle without any weights whatsoever at home? (only equipment I have are push up bars!)
I wish to also gain more biceps; what are the most effective bicep exercises (the only equipment I have are 3 kilo dumbells!) without using weights at home?
Cody Bourgoin says:
Nov 11, 2011
I was wondering.. if you train your muscles t’ill failure every set won’t you overtrain after a while or no?
Cody Bourgoin says:
Nov 11, 2011
When I do bench press my biceps feel like their being worked and I thought they were pull muscles? Cuz the next day I do workouts for my biceps for Pull?
Cody Bourgoin says:
Nov 11, 2011
Also, I want to gain muscle mass so when I workout t’ill failure what size of weight do you recommend using? Like a really heavy one or a lighter one?

Hi Brandon I’m 16 from UK and have just started your program. I’ve purchased the resistance band and chin up bar. I have also changed my diet. But I am concerned about tea Rexx and HITT. As I am at college I have not got time to be going out to perform HITT. I cant also get the tea Rexx due to funds lol. Do you think this will affect me from changing my body.
P.S. thanks your a inspiration

hey brandon. I am so greatful for your fitness programm! so cool you did this! this new knowledge about working out
(and EATING RIGHT!!) means much to me and also motivates enormously because I know, that I now have the right equipment and information and the only thing which is still needed is MY hard work. But that’s no problem=). I have one question though conserning reps of whatever exercise. I’ve been told to vary reps for example for biceps, triceps, squats, chest exercises. which means e.g. a month I take weights which allow me to do approximately 10-13 reps. (till FAILURE I know…) And the next month I would take heavier weights which only allow me to do about 6 reps. I get your point about doing an exercise till failure. this is what I’ve done even when I counted. But you don’t give any advice on the level of difficulty of the exercise you know what I am trying to say? (sorry I am not native=D) Is it OK if I do certain exercises let’s say “concentration curls” with weight which allows me to do 15 reps the first set and still maybe 10-13 in the 3rd set (because only resting 30 sec. will drop my Rep-rate every set… even if I give 100%. but I guess it’s normal)
thank you for your advice. By the way I really like this song called BLOOD MONEY! the sound is fabulous. And even more the lyrics. capitalism destroys our society, our morality, everything. We need artists who MAKE people think about those issues! They don’t have the time to do it themeselves since they are working 8-12 hours 5 days a week. It’s crazy… but anyways. I love political lyrics, something meaningful which stands in contrast to so much nonesense which sadly gets to much attention right now. I will spread the world! keep up the good work man!
love from switzerland!!
